MacPorts does not use your PATH. It uses a sanitized path, specified in the binpath variable in macports.conf. > In any event I have removed all GNATs from my path and now get this: > gcc --version > i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) > (LLVM build 2336.11.00) > > Dunno. Doesn't macports use its own gcc in /opt/local? MacPorts usually uses a compiler provided by the Xcode command line tools, unless a port has a specific reason to use a different compiler, in which case the port will specify a specific compiler. Ports will never use just “gcc”. > Can you recommend to me how to use the correct gcc? > > Also: Can you comment on Michael's suggestion? Michael suggested you install the octave port with the variants you need/want. You appear to have been trying to install the octave port with its +gcc45 variant. I’m suggesting you try it’s +gcc48 variant instead. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
